Good day everyone,

I have a frequent need these days to use the 'whois' command to resolve
Internet host names to meaningful site names.  However, the 'whois'
command in my Unix box interrogates the NIC in the U.S., whose answer
is most often 'No match for "BLAHBLAH.CA"' when the site is in Canada.

Hence the question, is there a whois server in Canada I can access?  Or
at least a list of sites I could get by anon. ftp?  I don't know
anything about CA*NET, except for my guess that it's the canadian
portion of the Internet, so please bear with me if this question is
inappropriate for this group.

E-mail preferred, but feel free to post if you want.  I will summarize
if there's interest.  Thanks in advance.
